Opportunity of a lifetime

What happened in Hawaii was truly fucked up. But, I hope psychologists, sociologists, and think tank types are flocking to the islands right now to gather as much data on what went through people’s minds in the 38 minutes when this was absolutely real for millions of people. I’ve been to Afghanistan three times and know what it’s like to be sure I’m about to die, BUT, I was prepared for those situations (as much as anyone really can be). I’m interested in how people reacted during their daily routines, having normal life thrown upside down. The few stories we’ve heard about rushing to get to loved ones, unexpectedly having to chose between who you can save, or accepting death teach us so much about ourselves. It’s easy to say what you would do in a situation, it’s another altogether to find yourself in it. Just a thought I wanted to share. I’ll go back to lurking. * FP Edit- Send anything
